About this Hike
The Pathfinder is designed for more confident and fit hikers who want the full Great Ocean Walk experience but in a shorter timeframe. Over five days, you'll cover the entire trail from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles, averaging longer walking distances each day for a rewarding challenge. This version is ideal if you're limited on time but still want the satisfaction of completing the full track. With three nights based at Captain's at the Bay in Apollo Bay and two nights at partner accommodation closer to the western end of the trail, you'll reduce daily commute times while limiting the number of times you need to repack. As always, we handle every detail — from daily transfers to luggage transport and briefings.
